📖 Overview
Use this tool to calculate the healthy weight range based on standard BMI thresholds for your height.
⚙️ How It Works
Derives the healthy weight range for a given height by applying the standard BMI thresholds of 18.5 (lower) and 24.9 (upper).
The Formula
Min Weight = 18.5 × h² | Max Weight = 24.9 × h² (h in meters)
⚠️BMI-based weight ranges are population averages. Muscle mass, bone density, age, and sex can all shift what is healthy for a specific individual. Consult a healthcare provider for personalised guidance.

❓ What if I am outside the range?
Discuss with a doctor. Small exceedances may not be clinically significant.
